Description du poste

Solvd Inc. is a rapidly growing AI-native consulting and technology services firm delivering enterprise transformation across cloud, data, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Following the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery —from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.

We are looking for a Video & Streaming Engineer to join a greenfield digital news platform build for a major international news brand. Video is not a feature here — it is the product. The platform is built around an always-on livestream, automated broadcast clip ingestion, and a player architecture that needs to perform reliably under the extreme traffic conditions of breaking-news events.

You’ll own the video and streaming layer end-to-end: platform integration, adaptive playback, livestream workflows, newsroom clipping tools, advertising, analytics, and resilience testing ahead of launch.

What you’ll do

• Own video, livestream, and player technical implementation across the platform.

• Integrate the selected video platform and player with the broader content and delivery architecture.

• Implement adaptive bitrate streaming and device-aware playback across web and mobile environments.

• Support livestream and breaking-news streaming workflows — including failover and resilience requirements.

• Implement clipping and newsroom video-processing capabilities for broadcast clip ingestion and editorial use.

• Integrate captions, subtitles, thumbnails, and poster frames.

• Support rights management, availability-window controls, and geoblocking requirements.

• Integrate video advertising and analytics capabilities.

• Implement playback telemetry, error handling, and fallback logic.

• Support load testing, resilience validation, and major-event readiness testing ahead of launch.

Basic qualifications

• Hands-on experience integrating and configuring enterprise video platforms — Brightcove, JW Player, Mux, THEOplayer, or similar.

• Strong understanding of adaptive bitrate streaming — HLS, DASH — and device-aware playback implementation.

• Experience implementing livestream workflows in a production environment.

• Familiarity with video processing concepts — clipping, transcoding, thumbnail generation, caption and subtitle integration.

• Experience integrating video advertising — VAST, VPAID, or similar — and video analytics.

• Ability to implement playback telemetry, error detection, and fallback handling.

• Experience supporting performance and resilience testing for high-traffic video delivery scenarios.

• Strong collaboration skills — able to work across CMS, frontend, and infrastructure teams.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience delivering video infrastructure for news, media, or broadcast organizations.

• Familiarity with rights management, availability windows, and geoblocking implementation.

• Experience with CDN configuration for video delivery at scale.

• Background working on platforms designed for major-event traffic spikes.

• Familiarity with DRM implementation — Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady.

• Experience with poster frame, chapter marker, and structured metadata workflows for editorial video.

When you join Solvd, you’ll…

• Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.

• Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.

• Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.

Solvd is an equal opportunity employer.
